After taking the summer off, Ballet Burn returns this fall.
Originally created by Linda Abel in 2016, Ballet Burn has become a highly requested part of her movement programming. This fall, we’re returning to the movements you love bringing the precision, control and elegance of classical ballet into Metabolic Strength.
Now it’s time to move again.
Ballet Burn grew from Linda’s own love of ballet and her appreciation for the way classical movement develops strength, posture, alignment and body awareness.
The class combines slow, intentional movement, muscular control and classical ballet technique for a workout that feels graceful while still challenging the body.
No jumping. No complicated choreography. No ballet background required.
Ballet Burn is a 60-minute ballet-inspired strength and conditioning class incorporating classical movements such as pliés, tendus, arabesques and port de bras with core work, mobility and controlled muscular endurance.
Slow tempos, repetition, isometric holds and precise positioning create sustained muscular tension while challenging balance, stability and control.
The result is a workout designed to leave you feeling stronger, more aligned, more mobile and more connected to your body.
Controlled repetitions and sustained holds challenge the legs, glutes, core, shoulders and arms while building muscular endurance.
Classical ballet emphasizes intentional positioning from head to toe, helping develop greater postural awareness and control.
Precise movement challenges the supporting muscles involved in balance, coordination and stability.
Ballet Burn delivers a challenging workout without relying on jumping, pounding or high-impact movement.
Core strength, alignment and trunk control are integrated throughout the workout.
Ballet Burn combines athletic strength with the precision and elegance of classical movement.
